Суперсимметричные решения описывающие ортогонально пересекающиеся M-браны определены на произведении риччи-плоских пространств Mi. Число суперсимметрий зависит от чисел ковариантнопостоянных киральных спиноров на соответствующих фактор-пространствах и знаковых множителей для бран. Представлены точные суперсимметричные решения для трех М-бран на произведении риччи-плоских многообразий со спинорной структурой.

We study composite M-brane solutions in 11-dimensional supergravity. The supersymmetric solutions describing orthogonally intersecting M-branes are defined on the product of Ricci-flat manifolds Mi. The amount of preserved supersymmetries depends upon certain numbers of (chiral) parallel spinors on factor spaces Mi and brane sign factors. Three examples of triple M-brane configurations are considered and the numbers of unbroken SUSY are obtained.

1 Introduction

2 Generalized Killing spinor equations

Solutions to supergravity theories preserving some amount of supersymmeries play an important role in studies in non-pertubative M-theory and correspondences between gravity and gauge theory.

We consider intersecting M-brane solutions defined on the manifold of the form

M = M0 x M1 x ... x Mn

(1)

where Mi are Ricci-flat manifolds. In what follows we denote di = dimMi. In [1] the classification of super-symmetric M-brane configurations on product of flat factor spaces Rdi was presented and the relation for the amount of preserved supersymmetry was found:

N =2 k, with k = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

(2)

The bosonic action in 11-dimensional supergravity is given by

S = J d11z^m{R[g] - ¿(4)F2} - A A F A F,

(3)

where F = dA = 4yFNPQRdzN A dzP A dzQ A dzR is 4-form. We consider pure bosonic configurations in D = 11 supergravity (with zero fermionic fields) that are solutions to the equations of motion corresponding to the action (3). The amount of preserved supersymmetries (SUSY) corresponding to the bosonic background (eM, AMl m2m3) is defined by the dimension of the space of solutions to (a set of) linear firstorder differential equations (generalized Killing spinor equations) for 32-component spinor field e = e(z)

It was shown in [2] that for the simplest M5-brane configuration to obey the supergravity equations of motions, the brane world volume should be Ricci-flat and admit parallel spinors for supersymmetry. The relation (2) is no more valid if composite M-brane configurations on the product of Ricci-flat manifolds (1) are taken into consideration. In this case N depends upon certain numbers of chiral parallel (i.e. covariantly constant) spinors on Mi and brane sign factors cs = ±1.

In this note we study supersymmetric solutions defined on the manifold (1) for triple M-brane configurations in D = 11 supergravity. The case of two in-M

M2- and M5-brane solutions) defined on the product of Ricci-flat manifolds was considered earlier in [4]. (For solutions with one brane see also [3].)

BM is an operator induced by the 4-form field strength F

BM = 288 rNrPrQrR - 12^NfPrRpR) Fnpqr

(7)

and rM are worId T-matrices.

The number of preserved SUSY is N = N/32, where N is the dimension of the linear space of solutions to differential equations (5).

The 4-form field strength reads

F = ^ CsdH-1 At(Is)+ ^ cs(*odHs) At(I,), (10)

where d0 = 1, d1 = d3 = d4 = 2, d2 = 4. The solution reads
